Brooks, Woolston & Nicolaou Win Support Classes

AKA press release

Gerry Brooks was a clear winner in a large and competitive Rotax Over 35s field at the 2008 Sparco Rotax Nationals at VACC Park in Melbourne, Victoria.

Brooks was the class of the field all weekend and drove away to take a big win, leaving Dominic Albanese and Steven Willing to battle over the minor podium positions.

Albanese, a noted Formula 100 steerer, eventually took second over Willing, with Peter Klein and Frank Falla coming home in fourth and fifth respectively.

In DD2 class, Troy Woolston drove away from the opposition to take a commanding win aboard his two-speed Intrepid kart.

Woolston may have had to withstand a challenge from Arrow driver Aaron Rintoul in the final, but Rintoul lost a rear wheel through the double right-hander during the Pre-Final and was forced to start the final from the rear of the field.

As Woolston stormed to victory, Rintoul carved through the field to take second place, ahead of Paul Hamilton, Tony Prendergast and David Whitmore.

While the Junior National Light field was small, it turned on an enthralling race, with Jordan Nicholaou and Liam Morey swapping the lead lap after lap.

Nicholaou eventually got the win by a mere 0.018 seconds at the line, a sensational drive for the young Victorian, who was driving with injured ribs.

Morey’s efforts were stellar, with the CC Racing driver in only his first meeting in juniors after spending two seasons as one of Australia’s premier drivers in the Rookies category.
